The shamans of the Amazon developed a sacred practice known as the Master Plant Dieta - a deep and devotional process through which one forms a profound bond with the spirit of a plant. It is often likened to a sacred union, a spiritual marriage between human and plant ally. These dietas are powerful portals for transformation, guiding us back into harmony with nature, mending the disconnection many feel in the modern world, and introducing us to lifelong allies in the plant kingdom. Most beautifully, they are accessible to all - no matter where you come from or what path you walk.

​

This particular journey is a social dieta, meaning it’s woven into the rhythms of daily life - not in isolation, but in communion with the world around us. While these journeys are not always easy, they offer profound and lasting rewards.

In this one-month guided exploration, your plant guide, Christie Hanrahan, will hold space for an intimate group as they walk with the wise and tranquil spirit of Lavender - a master plant. This beloved plant carries the stories of centuries within its being. A calming yet clarifying teacher, Lavender invites us into states of peace, balance, emotional regulation, and gentle awareness.

Here are some of the teachings Lavender may share along the way...

​​

1. Calming the Nervous System

• Lavender teaches us how to soften. She supports the unwinding of tension and invites the body and mind into a state of rest, reminding us that peace is something we can practice.

2. Boundaries through Peace

• Rather than forceful protection, Lavender shows us how to create boundaries through calm clarity. She helps us step out of reactivity and into centered, grounded responses.

3. Emotional Alchemy

• Lavender gently soothes and processes emotional overwhelm. She teaches us how to hold our feelings with compassion, allowing them to settle and transform without suppression.

4. Inner Joy & Lightness

• There is a quiet brightness to Lavender. She reconnects us to subtle joy, ease, and a sense of lightness that can exist even amidst life’s challenges.

5. Connection to Self & Subtle Realms

• Lavender enhances awareness of the unseen - intuition, dreams, and energetic sensitivity - while keeping us anchored in a sense of safety and calm presence.

6. Deep Listening

• Through stillness, Lavender refines our ability to listen - both inwardly and outwardly. She teaches that true insight often arises in quiet moments.

7. Harmony through Balance

• Lavender is a harmonizer. She brings opposing forces into balance and reminds us that we do not need to push or strive - alignment often comes through gentle re-calibration.

8. And So Many More

We will provide suggest sources if needed, and a complete protocol document with all the details of what we can and cannot eat and do during this process.  This Lavender dieta does not require complete isolation, however, it is advised to have at least some time in the dieta period to be alone so you can really connect with the powerful teachings and transmissions. But you are free to live your life as normal, and Lavender will be there as a partner and guide.

Here’s how the process will work: Beginning on or around October 1st, Christie will schedule individual dieta openings with each participant, which happens through the power of song + intention. Then for a total of 5 Thursdays, Christie and the group will meet online to share the magic of what is unfolding. This allows us to learn as much from each other as we are from our sacred plant teacher.

We will provide a protocol document outlining for food instructions and specific details on how to work with the plant as well. In addition to only eating clean, organic, simple foods, we will all abstain from sexual activities, media, dark energies, and other distractions for the duration of the 3 weeks, and each Thursday at 4 pm PST / 6 pm CST we will meet online to connect, share stories, and learn more about the gifts this master plant has to offer through our vulnerable shares. Christie will hold the diets for all participants, checking in on the connection and listening for messages each morning and night. She will be also be available throughout the process for spontaneous support as needed, because we intend to go deep with this adventure! Diets will be closed individually 1-2 weeks before the final integration meeting. All dietas must be closed before the last meeting. Please given 24 hours notice when you would like to close. Closing days/times are personalized for each participant.
